GibbsCAM

GibbsCAM is the CAM industry´s ease-of-use leader, the best tool for programming your parts.GibbsCAM´s graphical user interface was designed for machinists by machinists. This manufacturing orientation ensures that GibbsCAM´s powerful functionality is also extremely easy to learn and use. The base package´s capabilities can be optionally extended through the addition of seamlessly integrated modules. This way the system can be configured for your initial needs and be gradually expanded as your needs grow, protecting your investment and covering all the range of machine tools.

GibbsCAM Production Milling supports 2-axis through simple 3-axis wireframe machining with full functionality for contouring, pocketing with unlimited bosses/islands, thread milling, face milling, 2D/3D spiral creation, drilling with support for many drill cycles, tapping, and boring. Simple 4th-axis positioning is also supported. Automatic cycles for face milling, such as spiral, zig-zag, back and forth and one direction, allow material to be cleaned off the top of a part. GibbsCAM Production Milling provides easy-to-use, powerful programming capability for your machine tools. See module

GibbsCAM Solids Import provides entry-level support for machining solid models. Solid models can be read, viewed and manipulated. Geometry can be selected and extracted for machining.
Using this option you can import a solid model, view it, extract geometry from selected edges, which can then be machined. This option is ideal for users who have been machining wireframe geometry who want to expand their capabilities to support rudimentary machining of solids. See module

GibbsCAM 2.5D Solids provides significant surface and solid modeling capabilities. Functionality to directly machine surfaces and solids is also included.
With this module, you have the ability to create, import and modify solid models and then generate programs to machine them. Specialized tools are also provided to import, repair and automatically solidify surface data. Using GibbsCAM 2.5D Solids, CNC programs can be created faster and easier, making you more efficient and productive. See module

VoluMill within GibbsCAM offers expanded milling solutions for cutting methods that maximize material removal rates by building toolpaths that optimally control tool cutting factors. The process automatically takes into account the best option for milling pockets, including the speed of a tool plunging into the material and material removal rates. Variation in tool load is smoothed, allowing the machine to use much higher speeds and feeds. See module

The GibbsCAM 5-Axis Option supports simultaneous 4- and 5-axis machining with various tool types. In combination with GibbsCAM MTM, it also supports sophisticated multi-task machines with live tooling on articulated heads. It includes various machining styles and machining strategies for roughing and finishing, with full tool-axis control, plus application-specific functions such as projection, swarf, electrode, impeller, turbine and cylinder-head machining. For additional accuracy, the 5-axis Option provides collision detection and gouge checking for various tool shapes, with appropriate avoidance options. Toolpath is verified, on the fly, with the integrated GibbsCAM Cut Part Rendering, while GibbsCAM Machine Simulation can provide further verification with dynamic display of work piece, cutting tools and all machine-tool components in motion. See module

GibbsCAM Production Turning supports full 2-axis wireframe machining with full functionality for contouring, automatic roughing, multiple hills and valleys, plunge roughing, threading, repetitive shape roughing, drilling, tapping and boring. Advanced functionalities, such as maintaining an awareness of the current stock condition, make programming lathes not only easy but also extremely efficient. GibbsCAM Production Turning provides easy-to-use, powerful capability for programming your turning centers See module

An extension to GibbsCAM’s integrated Cut Part Rendering visualization/verification capability, Machine Simulation uses animated machine tool models to identify any program errors before they cause costly mistakes on the shop floor. See module

With GibbsCAM, you'll be able to work with the widest range of data formats. You'll also be able to heal geometry, stitch surfaces and solidify models as you import.
You won't be locked out of business opportunities because you can't read the data. GibbsCAM gets data in – from just about everywhere. See module
